Life and its meaning; the essential truths have occupied the minds of saints, seers, poets and artists through the ages. The series ‘ The Ephemeral Playground’ also attempts an insight into this subject. Meditative, serene, amused or somber, these faces, enclosed within window- like spaces look meditatively out from a canvas richly worked in the hues of life, imbued with potent symbols and metaphors conveying the transience of this world. An attempt is made to question and simultaneously provide answers to the meaning of life.
